How old is your LO? 10.5 months
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? Nursing at home and pumping at work. I switched to pumping 2x a day at work a few weeks ago. I am going to just be sending in 2 bottles a day now and I hope it works out okay. Even though this is my third time pumping, it still gives me anxiety RE production/supply.
9-12mo Do you have a BF goal and has it changed since LO was a newborn? 2 years, hasn't changed.
GTKY: what’s your favorite vacation you’ve had? Or a dream vacation you’d love to take? I really want to go to Southern Italy and Sicily and just eat all the things. My family is from there on both sides so it would just be really neat all around.

How old is your LO? 11 months old
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? All 3 lol. It's fine. We're working on cutting down the amount of formula we're giving by mixing with cow milk (advice of our nurse). Still not pumping a lot, but that's just my life. He's mostly content when we're nursing.
9-12mo Do you have a BF goal and has it changed since LO was a newborn? My only goal was to give it a try. Might see about weaning him by about 2 if he's still going/if we have another. He's a bit of a boob monster so it might be a fight, but we'll see.
Questions/AW?
GTKY: what’s your favorite vacation you’ve had? Or a dream vacation you’d love to take? When we went to Holland. We were only there for a week and I really wish we had been able to stay longer. Dream vacation would be a tour around Western Europe and the UK. Or the cruise my parents are doing right now around the British Isles lol

How old is your LO? 9 months
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? Nursing at home, pumping at work. Struggling to pump enough, but it's easily remedied by late night/early morning pumping.
9-12mo Do you have a BF goal and has it changed since LO was a newborn? It hasn't changed - I'd like to make it most of the way to 2 like I did with DD, but this kid is so different, I just don't know how that is going to go. Trying to let go of mom guilt if I end up weaning earlier.
Questions/AW?
GTKY: what’s your favorite vacation you’ve had? Or a dream vacation you’d love to take? Australia/Great Barrier Reef, and realistically, I'd like to take my kids to the UK in a few years.

How old is your LO? 5 weeks
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? Nursing. Pretty good. I think she’s gotten lazy with her latch, which is causing some soreness. I may need to stop in to visit the free clinic for advice.
0-3 mo Getting through growth spurts okay? I don’t think we’ve had one yet.
Questions/AW? No questions, just need to figure out a time to add a pumping session in. I get so little free time.
GTKY: what’s your favorite vacation you’ve had? Or a dream vacation you’d love to take? H and I went to Europe together before I got pregnant and it was a lot of fun. I’d like to go to Ireland next. I dream of a trip to Germany, but H doesn’t want to go so I’ll just keep dreaming.

How old is your LO? 7 months
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? BF exclusively at home, pumping at work.
4-8 mo How do nights look? Nights are... ok. He was doing better for a while with just one wakeup a night, and then teething hit and he was up more. His second tooth broke through and I got two nights where he didn't wakeup from 8:00pm-4:30am and then it went to hell again because he's sick now (on and off fever, congestion, cough) and I think his top two teeth are going to break through soon. Ugh. Last night he actually was only up twice, but he was super congested and pissed off I had to suction him at 3am.
If you’ve returned to work, how is that transition going? I've been back at work since January and it's going fine. Pumping is ok, I'm lucky to have a good supply so I'm not worried there. The sleep interruption between the baby and my three year old is the biggest thing affecting me at work.
Questions/AW? Yay for teeth, got bit twice over the weekend by the little beast, and of course his latch is not great due to teething and congestion.
GTKY: what’s your favorite vacation you’ve had? Or a dream vacation you’d love to take? I think my favorite was probably going to Belgium and London with my husband and my parents. Brussels is such a great city and we enjoyed exploring it, and then we went to the 250th anniversary reenactment of the battle of Waterloo, which was awesome, and then got to spend a few days exploring London, which is one of my favorite cities to visit. My dream vacation would be to go somewhere in Asia, maybe Thailand or Singapore.

Dramaphile both my kids’ night sleep got much more interrupted around 7mo. My younger is bedsharing (older never did) but at 11mo he nurses once maaaaaybe twice overnight now. Hoping your night wake ups are as short lived a phase as possible!
